Chapter 56: Giving the NBA a Boost

Halfway through the flight, a male flight attendant brings Jamie a cup of coffee.

It sounds strange, but it's true.

On this private jet provided by Amex, from the captain to the flight attendant, it was all male.

The plane was arranged by John for Jamie, so everything on the plane was also configured according to John's requirements.

John did this, of course, for Jamie's good.

The main reason is that there are too many girls in the group of flight attendants now, and those young and beautiful girls pick rich stars to attack, and they have no professional ethics.

Face-to-face service is meticulous, and various security measures are in place.

Retrieve the small umbrella from the trash can behind her back, and play the pregnancy blackmail, false accusation, rape routine, and play deeper than the other.

Don't ask John how he knew this.

Before the Eagle County incident in his previous life, Kobe Bryant was still an introverted and uncommunicative baby in the eyes of the public!

John could tolerate his son playing a little bit in this life, but he didn't care about it if it wasn't safe.

And John let Jamie fly all the way to such a trip, of course, not to show off how awesome his centurion black card is, but to say something inconvenient for the father and son on the phone.

Especially after 911, the United States has strengthened all-round surveillance at home and abroad, and encrypted satellite phones are not necessarily secure.

Moreover, the father and son have long agreed that all topics involving the previous life and the space spring water will only be discussed in person.

Especially this time, the topic also involves Jordan, the world-renowned basketball god.

An hour later, the plane landed at Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

The Maybach 62, who drove onto the runway, picked up Jamie and sent him directly to Jordan's No. 23 estate in Chicago's Highland Park.

The entrance is a wrought-iron gate with a 23-digit decoration in the middle.

The entire estate covers an area of several thousand square meters, and is divided into different living areas and sports areas, in addition to the standard configuration of luxury houses such as tennis courts and swimming pools, indoor basketball halls are also indispensable.

Most of Jordan's training in the past two years has been done here.

John was a guest at the manor at this time, so he called Jamie directly here.

Jordan was training, and there were not only Bulls staff in the stadium, but also some media reporters.

Jamie was greeted by Jordan's wife, Juanita, and her three children.

The eldest Jeffrey is thirteen years old, the second Marcus is eleven years old, and the youngest daughter Jensmay is only eight years old.

What's interesting is that all three of them are all Jamie's book fans.

As soon as Jamie got out of the car, Jensmay came to him with a copy of "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" to ask for an autograph.

In the end, Jamie also took a photo with the three of them.

Jamie stood in the middle with Jeffrey and Marcus in his arms, and Jansmay at the front.

The photo was taken by a reporter from a local Chicago media outlet that specializes in covering the Bulls.

After John became the new owner of the Bulls, his family became the focus of local media coverage.

Jamie is now a well-known figure in the United States, and this exposure is good for both him and the Bulls.

After this, John called Jamie and went to the baseball field that Jordan had built in honor of his father.

It's open on all sides, so you don't have to worry about overhearing conversations.

"Don't tell me, you secretly gave Jordan a drink of space spring water."

As soon as he came up, Jamie couldn't wait to ask.

Luckily, John shook his head.

This kind of most important secret involving himself, of course, he could not tell an outsider.

"I just persuaded Jordan to swap out all the meat in his daily diet for beef from Angus cows who had drunk a lot of space springs."

Similar beef, Jamie ate it last time he brought a friend to the ranch as a guest.

Consuming it for a short period of time will not have any special effect, but as long as it lasts for more than a month, the physical strength will slowly increase, and the effect is only slightly worse than drinking the space spring water directly.

But it was more than enough to help Jordan regain his fitness.

According to the results of the most recent physical test, Jordan's current physical fitness has recovered to the peak level of twenty-seven or eighteen.

The familiar basketball god Jordan is really back.

And stronger than the Jordan everyone has ever known.

Jamie looked at his father curiously.

"How did you come up with the idea to do this?"

John replied that he was inspired by the horses in the ranch.

Space Spring Water can produce the world's top racehorses, so why not use it to train the top athletes?

In order not to reveal his secrets, John certainly wouldn't try it with much fanfare.

So he set his sights on the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, intending to buy a team to experiment.

Football, baseball, ice hockey, and basketball, which are the current rankings of the four major professional sports leagues in terms of popularity in the United States.

In the future, basketball will surpass ice hockey to become third as the NBA's influence expands around the world.

In the end, John chose the NBA.

Mainly because he was most familiar with basketball in his previous life, and he was also familiar with future stars, tactics, and rule adjustments.

Another is that basketball has the most perfect experimental subject - Michael Jordan.

Jordan is already a myth in his own right, so even if something happens to him that is beyond ordinary people's understanding, such as the fact that the old guy who is almost forty can still maintain his peak physical strength, everyone is easy to accept.

God is certainly not the same as ordinary people.

Of course, this kind of supreme guinea pig treatment can only be enjoyed by Jordan alone, and the other Bulls players, John does not intend to turn them all into monsters who are not going to decline in physical strength when they are older.

At most, it will allow them to maintain their peak for a longer period of time, while at the same time eliminating the problems that injuries have caused them in their careers.

In fact, the fact that you can recover quickly after an injury without leaving any sequelae is enough for the vast majority of NBA players.

This means they can use their talents on the pitch without any worries.

"So that's why you signed Chris Webber?"

Jamie couldn't help but ask.

If Webb hadn't been plagued by injuries in his previous life, he would actually have a good chance of leading the Kings to win a championship in the late game, so that he wouldn't have to be the embarrassing uncrowned king.

"Actually, I want Garnett more, but the Timberwolves don't sell it."

John shrugged and replied.

Jamie felt sorry for Garnett for a few seconds.

Chris Webber was the only big-name star to enter the free agency market in '01, and Garnett was still for sale for the Timberwolves at this time.

Not being able to join the Bulls at this time is definitely a loss for Garnett.

After making sure that John was just trying to give the NBA a boost and not make some shocking and subversive move, Jamie finally let go of his biggest concern.

He was even in the mood to joke with John.

"What about Da Yao? You don't plan to cut off next year's draft? ”
